Why is configuration synchronization important in a data center with redundant switches?

To ensure both switches have identical configurations, preventing inconsistencies that could cause asymmetric routing or failover issues

To reduce the number of network cables required

To double the processing power of the switches

To automatically load-balance traffic between the switches

A network engineer needs to back up the configurations of 100 Nexus switches to a central server. The backup must be automated, and the engineer wants to ensure that the backups are consistent and can be restored quickly. The engineer has access to a Python environment and the switches support SCP. Which approach best meets the requirements?

Manually use the 'copy running-config tftp' command on each switch.

Write a Python script using Netmiko to connect to each switch, execute 'copy running-config scp://server/path', and log the results.

Use an Ansible playbook to copy the running config to a local file on the control node.

Use the 'archive' feature on each switch to store backups locally on the bootflash.

What is the primary purpose of configuration archiving and versioning?

To track configuration changes over time and enable rollback to previous versions

To automatically optimize network performance

To encrypt all configuration files for security

To reduce the amount of memory used by the switch
